It's clever and funny, but a bit stupid too. Implying that Vista did away with any anti-virus programs and instead added Windows Defender (not an AV program) detracts from the humor, in my opinion.

I liked the combination of Windows CE, Me, and NT, though.

I know you think you understand what you thought I said,
but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant!

BlackSpyder,

you forget that I am in Germany. The only one that applies here too is Dell.
All other suppliers go with the mainstream and offer Vista. Only if you build systems yourself you can sometimes chose the OS. Some let you chose system components but no OS :thumbsup:
